Graeme Souness : Man United Players Letting Mourinho Down by bioemmy: 1:41pm On Nov 30, 2016
The former Liverpool player and manager believes
Manchester United players are letting down
manager José Mourinho.

United, currently sixth on the table, are eight points
behind fourth place Arsenal and eleven behind
Chelsea.

The team have drawn their last four home
matches, despite being the best team in most of
those games. United have struggled to covert
chances to goals, scoring three goals from over 90
shots in their last four home games.

Adding to the frustration of his side's lack of goals,
Mourinho was sent to the stands in United's last
Premier League match against West Ham, after he
kicked a water bottle and faces a fresh charge
from the FA.

Souness says the caliber of players at Old Trafford
should be achieving better results than they are
currently, while suggesting that Mourinho still
doesn't know his best eleven.

"In terms of football, I think he is being let down by
his players.

“That group of players should have more points in
the bag than they have so far." Souness said via
The Daily Star.

" I thought Man United would be flying, but we’re
nearly in December and I don’t think Jose knows
his strongest XI.

“He’s still scratching for that and not getting
results.

“What you are looking for as a manager is players
to say, ‘you can’t leave me out.

“I don’t think Man United players are making that
statement."

Difficult to disagree with the former Liverpool boss
on this. The time is right for the United players to
take some responsibility for the team's below par
results.

Some players haven't been clinical enough in front
of goal on a number of occasions. While Mourinho
makes the selection, it's still up to the players to
get the job done on the pitch.

United will be hoping for a change of fortune when
they host West Ham for the second time in three
days. This time in the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup
on Wednesday.
